To jinx something is to bring bad luck by performing an action that is said to cause it. It is of course superstition, but still a commonly used phrase.

To jinx something is to curse it with bad luck.
There's a superstition that talking about something you want to happen will make it less likely to happen. This is called "jinxing it." So here "don't jinx it" means "don't talk about it, because I want it to happen."
